Lamborghini ace Mirko Bortolotti may be leading the DTM standings at the halfway point of the season, but he does not want to count anyone out of the title fight just yet.
Grasser Lamborghini driver Bortolotti reclaimed the top spot from Sheldon van der Linde at the Norisring on Sunday after finishing second to Felipe Fraga as his Schubert BMW rival van der Linde finished outside the points in 15th.
“It’s such a high level of field that you never know who is going to be the one to beat at the next weekend, which makes GT racing so special,” said the Italian. “We worked really well in the first half, but we need to keep this up. “It’s half-distance only, so it’s good to have had a good first-half of the season, to be consistent in the points, that pleases me a lot.
“We’re still second in the championship, we have Spa and Red Bull Ring now which are two really good tracks, so yeah, let’s see,” he said. “I think yeah, there’s always a chance,” the Brazilian replied when asked to assess his title prospects by Motorsport-Total.
